[Samba] Windows 7 samba 4 domain join problem

[Daniel Müller]

No you do not need to change any registry settings with samba 4 and windows
7.
Is your dns working?
First of all on your linux box try a  smbclient -L localhost -U%
Or more like this to be shure administrator is enabled and working:
[root at s4master ~]# smbclient  //s4master/netlogon -Uadministrator
Enter administrator's password:
Domain=[TPLK] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 4.0.7]
smb: \> ls
  .                                   D        0  Fri Aug 23 08:16:23 2013
  ..                                  D        0  Fri Aug 23 11:14:25 2013

                65503 blocks of size 33553920. 65502 blocks available
smb: \>

If in any case it refuses you can try to enable "administrator":
samba-tool user enable administrator
or list all known users to be shure:
samba-tool user list

Good luck
Daniel

Thanks for your help.

 

I tried configuring the Windows 7 registry settings listed here, even though
it says it shouldn't be necessary for an Active Directory domain:
https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Registry_changes_for_NT4-style_domains.
The client acts exactly the same.

 

Are there other registry settings somewhere else, or is this some other
problem?

 

Jared

Greetings Jared. 

 

Let's start the troubleshoot with Win7. Normally you need to modofy it's
registry to Win7 work with Samba. Was it done?

 

Att.

 

2013/9/5 <jared.m.jacobson at l-3com.com>

I stood up a samba 4 (4.0.9) Active Directory domain controller on a Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.3 server, configured in accordance with the Samba AD DC
HOWTO <https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_DC_HOWTO> , and tailored to
the domain name I want.  I'm trying to join a Windows 7 Enterprise Edition
client to the domain.  Windows responds with "Your computer could not be
joined to the domain because the following error has occurred: The network
path was not found."

 

I used wireshark to capture the message exchange.  ... here's a summary of
the messages exchanged (C = Win 7 client, S = samba server, pretending
client IP is 192.168.0.3, server IP is 192.168.0.4, server name is server,
client name is client, and domain name is domain.name):



...

13.   C->S: CLDAP search request "<ROOT>" baseobject
a.       Filter: DnsDomain=domain.name && Host=CLIENT && User=CLIENT &&
AAC=80:01:00:00 && NtVer=0x20000016
b.      Attributes: netlogon
14.   S->C: CLDAP serchresentry
a.       Type: netlogon
b.      Opcode: LOGON_SAM_USER_UNKNOWN_EX

Based on this exchange, it looks like the Win 7 client is trying to use the
username CLIENT (message 13) rather than the "Administrator"
username I put in when attempting to join the domain, and the server is
rejecting that user because it doesn't know that user.

Is it normal for the Win 7 client to use the computer name for the username,
here?  Did I miss something in the HOWTO?  Am I supposed to add the client
computer name to the Active Directory before trying to join the domain?
